Risks of Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are often referred to as your “third molars” that start to come in between your late teen and early adult years. If these molars have no space to grow, they may come through part-way and then become partially impacted. Full wisdom tooth impaction is when they don’t come through the gum line at all. Impacted wisdom teeth put you at risk of numerous dental problems, such as:

Swollen or bleeding gums
Pain when you bite or chew
Tooth infections, decay, and gum disease
Damage to surrounding teeth
Problems with bite issues
Cysts around your jaw

To alleviate pain and prevent these problems from occurring, Dr. Rina Kotecha may recommend a wisdom tooth extraction.

Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are not really needed for any specific function in your mouth. If they come through without problems and are not crowding existing teeth, there’s no reason to have them extracted. However, impacted wisdom teeth can potentially derail your oral health by causing serious dental problems. Removing impacted wisdom teeth sooner rather than later can prevent these problems before they start.

Once I remove this, we will have to put a bridge for you And I said Okay because without that two teeth in the front, I could not smile. I was looking terrible You know, so I said to doctor. Okay I’ll, I’ll, put a bridge, she said I’ll put fight for you and I said how much will it cost Doctor, and Doctor gave me the price and I told her OKAY. I have my son in Tanzania.
